the ground; and even when 1t has
reached this size, the tree may DC cut
off five feet from the ground, making
post OF the desired height without
killing the tree. Such cutting OIL
would be fatal to any other tree that
could be used for this purpose; but the
willow will send out Il rich bunch oil
shoots, which will soon become re.
spectable branches and may be cut Oil
In their turn. Thus we may have a
thick, stocky trunk five feet high. with
so little top that the wind will not
loosen the nails or staples. The
branches cut off make good bean-poles,
or the summer iirewood par excel
lence. They cut very easily when
green, dry out rapidly, and when dry
make n quick, hot fire that dies down
at once-just the fire the housewife
desires during the summer. Other
points in favor of the willow for live
fence posts are the case with which II
can be got to grow and the rapidity 81
its growth Ii slips are stuck into the
ground In the spring, wneh the Srouilu
is moist, they will ut once root and
grow. Where fence-posts are scarce
this use OF the willow can be conf
IDENTIFY recommended; and likely il
will pay to so use the willow even
where posts are cheap. The willow il
slow TO die and will makea firm post
for many years.

Brussels Sprouts.

Farmers at the West scarcely know
of the name, much less the virtue, O.
Brussels sprouts. 1t is small cab
bage, very much more delicate than
the common cabbage, and superior in
flavor to the favorite caulihower. II

culture is easy, but it is not as produc.
tive as the cabbage, wherefore its cul.
ture must become much more general
than at present to render it as chear
as other vegetables in our markets
But there is no reason why farmers
should not add the Brussels sprouts To
the plants set out in their garden, and
cultivated for the advantage OF their
table.
1t Is a fall vegetable. In the hot
weather OF summer the little buds do
not form good, tender, compact head
as they do in the cooler weather of
autumn. The seeds may be sown
where the plants are to stand, or the
plants may bs transplanted in July
Just like fall cabbages, and are handled
IN the same way.
The picking of the sprouts COM
mences when those near the ground
begin to folm heads, and is repeated
from time to time about once in week
or two as they mature. They do not
spoil like caulihowers if neglected, but

bage and is equally as good as the
smaller sprouts. To keep them for
winter Use they should be taken up in
November, just before the ground
freezes, and stored in pit made lust
IKE those used for storing celery. The
pr. can be opened and the sprouts
taken out at any time in winter. The
sprouts are boiled and served with
drawn butter, just as caulihowers.

poses 70 a stroke Of . great volume Of
gossip and rumor concerning the per-
sonal and oflcial relations Of Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Manning which has
gained currency during the past TOW
weeks. In rendering his resignation.
for the second time. and in insisting
upon is acceptance. the Secretary de-
~clarcs. very explicitly. that his with
drawal from the Cabinet Is due solely to
the impaired condition Of his health.
which renders him unequal to the 'ex-
hausting round OF administrative
tasks" which dcvolve upon the head Of

from the general tone Of the letter. and
especially from the hearty expressions
Of continued confidence and esteem
contained in the closing paragraph.
that Mr., Manning Is, and has been
from the beginning. in cordial sympa-
thy not only with the financial policy Of
the Administration, but with the meth
DDS and principles which it has applied
in all the affairs of the Government
The Presidents reply expresses his
sincere regret at Mr.. Manning's re-
tirement, and testiics very cordially
and frankly to the value Of the Secre-
tary's services and the popular appre-
citation Of his achievements and sue

ventures the ~"earnest hope that in

touch Of pathos in these closing words,
coming as they evidently do straight

DOMESTIC SERVICE.


The Only Way In which u Can he Made
Pas~abIy Popular.
There Is no question. when every
thing else has been said. that the thing
which more than all else operates to
keep many women from domestic
service is the feeling that II il socially
degrading. The house servant il con-
sidcred as Of a lower caste than the
shop girl or factory operative. No one
ri give an intelligent reason why this
is so; but the fact stands out in sharp
distinctiveness. 1t is an utterly un-
reasonable prejudice. and it has is
influence, more or less. with all Of Us.
And the unfortunate thing about il i
that argument has little weighs against
prejudice.
Nevertheless. IL we know where the
root Of the evil lies we can set ourselves
to overcome IL. II it i intrinsically as
honorable to prepare the meals for a
family and TO do the hundred things
that 60 toward making domestic life
comfortable as it Is to do endless stitch
ing on undergarmcnts; If II requires
more intelligence and versatility to he
a competent domestic servant than to
run a machine with its inccssant repeti-
ton Of the same thing we and over
again. then let US say 50 and feel 50.
The unreasonable prejudice may grain-
ally be overcome. 1t can not be batter
ed down with logic-we are speaking
Of society in gcncral-but we believe IL
may be gradually lived down. Then we
shall have relief for those whose pride
keeps them from an occupation ~
which they think they will lose caste.
We shall have also better services than
is now too often the casc. But th:s
improved feeling-for it Is feeling
more than thinking--will be a growth
What we should aim ut is TO get II
growing vigorously as rapidly rs posi-
bic.
Let us add that very much may be
done here by individual effort. Every
employer Of domestic ~rvant can 10
much to show that she regards their
labors rs worthy and themselves rs
entitled 10 respect. She can cvincc a
personal interest in them and can cul-
tivatc in them a wise sclf-esteem.
There Is M need Of waiting for a com
bined social e in this direc-
ton. Let individual effort be put
forth and good will follow Christian
Worker.
